ABILENE, Tex, April 3O.-According

composed of citizens opposing the pro-

delegates to theDallas convention. They,
however, appointed a committee to at
tend to the matter composed of the fol-
lowing gentlemen Theodore Heick,
Aaron DarneIl, G. II. Balmer,. D. G. Hill
and Arnold. Even at this early day pro-
hioition excitement is high.

LOATHED HER HUSBAND,
And the Court Granted Him a Di.

Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 23.-The Bottemer
divorce case, which has for weeks
crowded the city court, and has given to
the public variety of spicy specimens
of love-letter writing, is ended. Judge
Dennis granted the husband absolute
divorce and dismissed the wife's cross
bill, the costs of the suit, which are con-
siderable, to be paid by Mr.. Bottemer.
The husband, who is Well-tO-dO mer-
chant, charged his wife with adultery.
and her cross bill alleged non-support
and abandonment. Mrs. BOttemer was
noted for her beauty. She had many
admirers. Her husband attributed her
alleged sins to her love for admiration
and flirting. He loved her deyoutly
and maintained her in elegance.
For couple of summers the BOttem-
ers had their summer residence at the
Rolay. on the Baltimore d6 Ohio rail-
road. There, the husband alleges, Mrs.
Bottemer received visits in his absence
in the city during business hours from
number of gentlemen, including we'll
known business men and real estate
dealers i'll Baltimore. The prominence
gwen to these gentlemen by their love
letters to the pretty, but truant wife,
caused sensation in social circles.
One of these gentlemen was married
just a week or two before his cores
pondence with Mrs. Bottemer, which
took place a couple of years
ago, appeared in public print. A jour
nalist and a couple of politicians who
occupy prominent positions were also
mixed up in the case. The custody of
the couples children is given to the
husband. Judge Dennis in his opinion
declares that he wholly disregarded the
testimony of Detective Pickering, and
bases his decision upon the letters writ
ten by Mrs. Bottemer. Her letters"
says the judge, ''both to her husband
and to others, show not only an utter
lack of wifely affection, but positive
loathing for him, while for other men at
different times they express the most
ardent passion for each in his turn.''

Blunt'S arrest was denounced.
LADY BLUNT FAINTS.


This morning, before the meeting,
Blunt handed to Magistrate Byrne a
written protest against the govern
ment'S action in proclaiming the meet
ing. Later Inspector Murphy visited
Blunt and Informed him that no meet
ing would be allowed. After the strug-
gle on the platform Lady Blunt tainted
and lay on the grass unconscious for
some time. Mrs. ROwlands and several
reporters also suffered in the scuffie.
Rev. Mr.. Pagan was arrested, but was
afterward released. Mr.. Roche, poor
law guardian, was arrested for assault
ing the police. Lady Blunt clung to
her husbands arm and refused to leave
him. Blunt, when asked whether he
would give bail, replied that, as an Eng
lishman, he believed the whole ac-
ton of the police was illegal, and he
would rather be imprisoned than to
give pledge to representatives of the
Tory government.
SAID BY THE PRESS.

referring to the arrest of Mr.. Blunt, at
MN,oodford, says: I'm the arrest of Mr..

LABOR's NEW CHAMPION.
A California Judge Enlists Under
the George Banner.


Special to the Globe
New YORK, Oct. 23.-Henry George
has fresh champion in Judge j. q.
Mcguire, of San Francisco, who will
surely be great labor card for the rest
of the campaign. That much was as
Sured when he made his bow at the
meeting of the Anti-Poverty society.
His breezy manner and inciSiye Ian
guage caught the large gathering at the
start and put the better-known leaders
for tine in the shade. Judge Mcguire
is not yet thirty-tive years old, but for
five years he has sat upon the bench of
the superior court of California.
For as far back as 1875 he was a
member of the legislature of that
state. He had then been mem
Der of the bar only two years,
stepping into practice from the black
smiths forge, to which he had been ap-
prenticed in Boston, his native city,
since he was seventeen. George con-
verted him to the land theory, to which
he has since so aSsiduOuSlv devoted him.
self besides attending to his judicial du-
ueS that he has organized forty clubs in
California. The work these clubs are
doing encouraged him to come here, for
he believes this campaign can be made
cO illlC1SStIliS llldU ltiDOI Will combine III
all the states and place George in the
field for the presidency next year. He
makes no Scruple about announcing this
as his mission, and does it with so much
assurance that the George party kneel
before him as their Moses. They have
been sadly in need of such a guide.
Engagements have been made for
Mcguire to speak in twenty-five places
in the state. Mcguire was asked today
ii there was any truth in the report that
Denis kearney was coming here to
stump the state. He laughed at the re-
port, and said kearney had lost prestige
and could not get an audience now even
on the sand lots. After his pyrotechnic
career kearney started an employment
bureau. That failed. and Kearney seems
since to have been living Oh wind. Ma
gulre says the chief obstacle to the ac-
ceptance of land and labor doctrine in
California has been the speculative fever
In the southern part of the state. That
obstacle will prove a blessing, he pre-
diets, as soon as the impending crash
shall occur. The land speculators even
now are devouring one another. Real
estate agents have gone so far as to eX-
cite the poorer classes by Offering them
options on the land by put and call
process. With the disaster certain soon
to visit thousands of people who have
risked their money in this way, there
will be reaction against private owner
ship in land, from which Mcguire ex-
poets great results that will amaze both
the old parties on the Pacific slope, and
command for the George movement ma
tional attention.

Work That Has Accumulated Dur
ing the Presidents Absence.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 23.-The president
will find his hands full of public busi-
ness when he settles down to work again
this week. He has been away from
Washington now just three weeks, and
although all matters of an extremely
urgent character have been brought to
his attention from time to time during
his trip through the West and South,
only the most important and imperative
of these could be disposed of. There is
so much accumulation of routine and
other business now demanding his con-
sideratiOn that it is not at all unlikely
he will quietly buckle down to his work
some time tomorrow, as has been his
custom heretofore when he returned
from prOtracted absences. Mr.. Cleve-
land is a phenomenal man in this
respect, never shirking work or post
poning duty incumbent upon him for
moment. On the contrary, he has
again and again shown determined
disposition to take up laborS of this
kind just as soon as he could put his
hand to them. 1t is quite probable,
therefore, that to-day will not be
wholly day of rest for him. There is
good chance that before the day is
over he will make dive into the pile of
work waiting for him, and get matters
somewhat in shape for regular action
the next day. Under the rules of the
White house Monday is the one day now
on which the president is regularly eX-
cused to all callers, except those who
have special appointments, so that he
will have a full free day tomorrow
work off something of the mountain of
business piled on his desk. Among the
matters of general public importance
pending his consideration now are sew
eral to which it is expected he will give
early attention. is thought the appoint
ment of a successor to eX-GOv. Porter as
assistant secretary of state will be
reported that Secretary Bayard has de-
termined upon recommendation for
the place. There is also some eXpecta-
ton that the appointment of Secretary
Lamar to the supreme bench will be an
nounced before the assembling of con-
gress, but the general opinion is that
nothing will be done in that matter be-
fore congress meets. MiSsOurians are
also anxious to know what chance there
is for speedy action upon the vacancy in
the st. Louis marShalship. Those who
should be best able to tell what is likely
to be done think it will still be some lit
tie time before the president makes an
appointment. 1t was known definitely
before he started for ST. Louis that he
was strongly inclined not to fill the posi-
ton until after the election cases had
been disposed of. 1t is not supposed
that anything has occurred since his alb
sence to occasion change of his mind
in this respect.

IMPORTANT CONVENTIONS.
The New Hebrides Islands and the
SueZ Canal.

PARIS, Oct. 23.-The negotiations for
conventions regarding the New Hebri-
deS islands and the Suez canal have been
concluded. and the conventions will be
signed tomorrow. The Suez canal con-
ventiOn provides that the canal shall be
kept open in time of war: that no act of
hostility shall be permitted at either of
its approaches or on it's banks within
zone to be determined by an interna-
tional commission on supervision: that
belligerent powers shall neither embark
nor disembark troops OF war material on
the canal or in the ports of access, and
that, if Egypt proves unable to compel
respect for the treaty, she will appeal
to Turkey, who, in concert with the
signatOry powers, will take the neces-
sary measures to enforce obedience. 1t
is reported that Germany, Austria and
Russia alreany approve the Suez con-
vention. The New Hebrides conven-
ton confirms the agreements of 1878 and
1888, and provides that any action nee
essary to maintain order shall devolve
upon the English and French men-of-
war, and that France shall evacuate the
military posts.

arrangements have been made for the
holding in this city, about the middle of
December, of a conference of all labor
political elements or factionSin the cOun-
Try, at which there will be representa-
tIves from all sections of the Union.
The object of the conference is said to
be to harmoniZe all the factions of the
Labor party under one banner for the
campaign next year, and to adopt gen
eral platform. Another purpose is to
decide upon new name, one in which
the word labor will not appear. The
National Free Soil party is the name
which it is thought will be adopted. 1t
is expected that Henry George will be a
prominent figure in the conference, and
that it will adopt his land theory. 1t is
also expected that the conference will
iiX date and place for holding ma
tlonal nominating convention. If this
IS done an effort will be made to have
the convention held here.

LITTLE SURPRISE
was manifested at the outcome of the
trial OF K. u. Morrow, charged with en-
bracery. The prosecution, in the course
OF the trial, was baff1ed in a most shame
full way by the spiriting away of i'm
portant witnesses and the gagging of
others, who maintained silence on the
witness stand on the plea that if they
testified they would criminate them
selves of felony. 1t was a matter of
common talk that these witnesses were
not SO much tying to shield themselves
as they were endeavoring to protect
Morrow. That large sums of money
were paid them to act thus there is no
doubt. Not a single fact of direct evil
dence against Morrow was brought out
owing to his clever management of
dangerous witnesses, but the presump-
tive evidence of guilt was so
strong that the jury, after
nearly eight hours deiiberation,
stood II for conviction, while only
one desired to bring in a verdict of not
guilty. Though little surprise was man
ifested the indignation was deep nd
widespread. There seems to be an i'm
preston that ii. f. Morrow is the Re-
publican congressman from this state.
This is an error. The congressman's

pected to be one of the most important
witnesses against Morrow, but who
proved to be as clam-like as others, has
himself been indicted for embr acery, IN
connection with the same case that gave
rise to the charge against Morrow. He
is charged with being the man who di-
rectly- approached eX-Juror Woods in

Several Thousand Unemployed
WOrkmen at Westminster.
By Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Oct. 23.-Several thousand
unemployed workmen marched in a
body from Trafalgar square to West
minister Abbey this afternoon. Their
leader carried a red flag. Twelve
hundred of them were admitted without
opposition. The red flag was left in
charge of the verger. Many kept
their hats on, whistled and sat
upon the pedestals of the statues.
others mixed with the regular audience,
but the greater portion of the latter de-
parted as soon as practicable, leaving
the strangers in almost sole possession.

for order, and exhorted his hearers
to try to uproot evil and to plant good

''That's what we are going to do" and
there were shouts of "Hear, hear" and
cheers. Canon Prather, realizing that
the ordinary style of SermOnizing would
not be accepted by his novel audience,
now threw his notes aside and ad-
dressed himself directly to the unruly
crowd. He declared that while legisla-
ton alone could provide a remedy for
their hunger and suffering, everybody
could feel and express sympathy for
them. This seemed to strike the crowd

were loudly cheered by their comrades

Strange Vent For Pittsburg
Italians Wrath.

PITTsBURG, Oct. 23.-Shortly after z
o'clock tonight Mrs. Lizzie Adams. of
Washington street, was murderously
assaulted by an Italian named John
Bosse while on her way home from
church. Bosse was intoxicated and was
annoyed at a crowd of hoodlumS, who
were tormenting him. Finally he be-
came so enraged that he drew knife
and turned upon his tormentors. At
that moment Mrs. Adams passed and
the frenzied man rushed upon her and
thrust the knife into her neck,
the long blade passing through
her left lung. With cry of pain the
innocent victim fell fainting to the
pavement and her assailant turned to
flee. The mob of hoodlums seized him,
however, and, after beating him with
sticks and stones, were only prevented
from lynching him by the Intervention
of number of determined citizens, who
rescued the bleeding and helpless man
and gave him up to the police. Mrs.
Adams was carried to her home. She
is in critical condition and will proba-
bly, die. Bosse is now in jail. He is
badly but not dangerously hurt. The
scene of the tragedy is one of the most
lawleSS localities in the city.

WASHINGTON, Oct. est is not true

Edwin Booth has never played in

Edwin Booth has visited and played in

that he would be warmly welcomed and
